This study will analyze the economic, social and political changes effected as a consequence of the incorporation of eastern Tanzania into the world capitalist system during the 19th century. Based on both oral and archival sources, it will fill a significant gap in the historiography of Tanzania and provide a test case for subsequent studies in surrounding regions of that country.
